Hello, my friends. I hope everything goes well. I will share some information about my witness, my projects and recent activities in this post.

Utopian hack:

Recently utopian.io servers hacked and some access_token leaked. Hacker used that tokens for upvoting and down-voting some posts.
Already all tokens revoked and you can find announcements on utopian and steemconnect blogs.

STEEM/SBD price:

This week we experienced some increase in all cryptocurrencies, especially on Steem! That was a good time to sell and buy at lower prices.
Recently we had a good news which huobi.pro exchange added steem to their exchange!

Talking with exchanges:

I contacted to some exchanges and talked about adding Steem to their exchanges. I sent all information about Steem and Steem blockchain to them and most of them appreciated and requested a team member for more discussions.
Recently forwarded a upcoin.com exchange message to one of Steemit team members. I think we will see Steem on their exchange soon!

Steemauto:

After having some issues with server providers, I moved Steemauto to a better and bigger server. I think that will be enough for a few months. We are growing fast!!

New Server specs:
256GB RAM
12Core CPU
1Gbps Bandwidth

_{Note: as you know, we are using steemconnect in the Steemauto and when steemconnect goes down, Steemauto will be down too. (only interface! back-end upvotes will work well all the time (I hope))}

Witness:

After upgrading witness and seed node to the v0.19.3, both nodes works well. My seed node is available in node.mahdiyari.info:2001 and anyone can include that in the config file of witness, seed or full nodes.
My witness position is #96 with 1,727 voters and that is too much. Thanks for your great support. Any vote counts.
Full stats from steemian.info/witnesses (thanks to @drakos)

_{I believe we can make steem community a better place for people around the world. A world anyone can earn money and a world without hungry people. It depends on your beliefs.
